192 Chapter 11 Testing HDCP
To run an HDCP self-test:
1. Hold down the G and B key while starting the generator put the generator in digital
friendly mode.
Alternatively, enter the following command:
SROP 2
2. Connect your cable to the Rx and Tx on the analyzer.
3. Select the HdcpProd image.
When testing a display, the HDCP test results are displayed on the display being tested.
When testing a cable, where no display is connected to the transmitter, test results are
displayed by the LCD display on the generator. If HDCP authentication is working
correctly, the name of the HdcpProd image on the LCD will be updated with Ri values
every 2 seconds. If HDCP is not working, the LDC display will remain static.
Understanding the HDCP test
Understanding what the generator does during an HDCP test can help you determine why
an HDCP test failed.
To determine which hardware is installed:
1. Load the GenStats image.
2. Compare the following table with the GenStats image to determine which hardware is
installed.
Test sequence for Broadcom transmitters:
1. The generator resets the transmitter and its HDCP engine.
